专利汇可以提供Apparatus for producing wood-plastic composites专利检索,专利查询,专利分析的服务。并且A system for converting wood to a wood-plastic composite in which the steps of pressure impregnation of the wood with a monomer and polymerization of the monomer within the wood by either heat or irradiation is accomplished in a single container. The system includes an apparatus by which a thin walled container is able to withstand the internal pressure of monomer impregnation and a method and apparatus for handling the container in the polymerization processes. The system further includes an irradiation tank equipped with an irradiation absorbing fluid recirculation system for bacteria control and an inert gas system for displacing the irradiation absorbing fluid from between the submerged containers and the irradiation source. The irradiation source includes a plurality of line sources variable in spacing and in the intensity of irradiation. Means are provided to overcome the spatial variation in radiation produced by the discrete line sources by a time oscillation of the array of line sources with respect to the container.,下面是Apparatus for producing wood-plastic composites专利的具体信息内容。
